Umbrella JS is a well deserving project. You won me over with the little animated illustrations. I feel like people have attached those to "quality" and "legitness"; at least I do.

I am going to play with that lib this weekend. Could be good for small Eletron/NW.JS apps.

Thanks! Nowadays I am leaning on my own https://superdom.site/ for simpler/over the weekend projects. I almost made it into a next iteration of Umbrella JS but thought it'd be too big of a change and decided to separate it.

I prefer superdom syntax and I consider it the last and best iteration I could make following jQuery's philosophy (there are a bunch of dead jsfiddles from Umbrella to Superdom). It feels a bit hacky but it's quite legible and intuitive. It is not so compatible (no IE/old Android) and the main thing missing from Umbrella is the whole AJAX side, but for that I mostly use the new standard fetch().

I keep telling myself I gotta make superdom's website worth of the code, but I never get around to do it :)
